stitutionality of the Illinois Jury law Is
sustained.
The decision of the United States Su
preme Court upon petition for a writ
of error in the case Of the Chicago Anat
Chists was announced this afternoon hy
Chief-Justice Waite in long and care
fully prepared opinion, which occupied
thirty-five minutes in reading. The court
held in brief
lst. That the first ten amendments t.
the Constitution are limitations upon
Federal, and not upon State action.
2d. That the jury law of Illinois Is up
on its face valid and constitutional. and
that 1t is similar in It's provisions To the
statue of Utah, which WAS sustained in
this court In the case of Hopt vs.. the
Territory of Utah.
81. That 1t does not appear on the re-
cord that upon evidence the trial court
should have declared Juror Sanford in
competent.
4th. That the objection 10 the admis.
sion of Johann Most's letter and the
cross-eNmination OF spies, which the
counsel for the prisoners maintained
virtually compelled them to testify
against themselves. were not objected To
in the trial court, and that therefore no
foundation was laid for the exercise of
this Courts jurisdiction.
9Th. That the questions raised by ten
eral Butler in the cases Of Spies AMI
Fieldin upon the basis of their foreign
nationality were neither raised nor dc.
cided in the State courts, and therefore
cannot be considered here The writ OF
error prayed for must consequently be
denied.

that Ida Christians father had eloDed
with Mary Tribues daughter and that
they were the joint parties in carrying
of the trunk, clothes, &c. The goose
eggs belonged to Mary Tribue, but were
hatched by Ida Christian fathers goose
and were claimed by both parties for a
